How we started
The AICSA was incorporated on 12th July 1973, pursuant to the provisions of the Associations Incorporation Act, 1985 SA. It is a division of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers and is managed by a management committee known as a Division Council. Day-to-day operations of the Institute are overseen by the Chief Executive Officer.
Our Vision
Conveyancing as a strong, sustainable and respectable profession.
Our Purpose
We exist to strengthen the conveyancing profession by supporting and advocating on behalf of our members.
The Council
The Division Council comprises a President, Vice-President, Immediate Past President and five councillors. All but two councillors must be ordinary members of the AICSA (conveyancers). The role of the Council is to:
- carry out the objectives of the Constitution
- set policy and review annually
- annual review and update of the Institute’s Strategic Plan
- represent the views of members; and
- act as ambassadors to promote the Institute and its members
